Went out for a blast around in the Tiger today - the first proper one this year - and I still have a silly grin on my face Amazing the thumbs up you get from other people....yes thumbs not fingers!

Beautiful day and some good roads in and close to Goodwood and the run back to my home. The Tiger is great fun..probably not as quick as the M3 but it feels like it is...until you hit 80. With no side screens you get blasted about at anything above about 30, and you can't keep a cap on above 50, but out in the countryside you are more involved in the views etc than inside a normal car and I defy anyone who likes cars not to drive it without a grin.

Annoying though that so many people have got people carriers as, even in a normal car, they block visibility so much but in a Tiger it is a case of grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

On days like this I would happily keep the Tiger for ever....but....I have it's up for sale simply because I fancy getting a Stag :cool:

Cheers Sye.

It is good fun, and something everyone should try.

I have a hankering to get back into classic cars though (I used to have a Triumph TR5) and want to get a Triumph Stag. Perofrmance / handling wont be close to the Tiger but as they have 4 seats I will probably use it more and my daughters may just be forced into getting into it as they refuse point blank to be seen in the Tiger :cool:
